Heh. It's one of my favorites, especially the Ben Affleck line. ;p

My grandmother died yesterday.

That makes, what, three funerals this year? Plus the accident my sister is still recovering from. Crap, but this has been a year. -_-

Brian

Cripes.  I'm sorry to hear that, Panda. :(

I hope things take a better turn for you shortly. :)

Condolences, Panda. I had both grandmothers die this year, it blows.

72 hours of testing progress lost to a failed VM and a host of other hardware issues. -_-

No Thursday off after all.



Can't wait until Thanksgiving for a day to sleep in.

What if they're not stars at all? What if the night sky is full of titanic far-off lidless eyes, staring in all directions across eternity?

Seriously, you gotta put in for at least a weekend day off at some point.  They got other testing staff right?
Well, Goodbye.

Purchased a liquid concoction known as "Lung Lover" from the local juicery.

*blagh*

Not buying any drinks with cayenne from them again. In general, this is the kind of place where they give the customer ample opportunity to shoot themselves in the foot. If you want a 32oz bottle of chilled beetroot juice with nutmeg, they will give you a 32oz bottle of chilled beetroot juice with nutmeg.

(The latter item was excellent in a heat wave, and completely undrinkable otherwise.)

Got hit in the face with a Kevlar helmet today. Busted my eye open (but no stitches or anything) and bent my prescription Oakley's beyond my ability to fix.

Now I have no sunglasses, a bleeding, swollen eye, and a headache. No black eye yet, though.
This is not the greatest post in the world, no... this is just a tribute.

Ugh ... I'm sorry to hear that, Iddy. :x

Down to 38ish days, right?  Hang in there!  I hope to see you stateside at some point. :)

Urgh, nothing like being stomachsick and wanting to curl up into a little ball.

Feeling better, Ana?


For myself....  Gave up on trying to put together that Pathfinder game.  Just not happening.  Too many scheduling issues, travel issues, issue issues, etc.  Man, I really wanted to be able to play or run a game. -_-

Condolences. It's a pain in the ass to get a gaming group together, let alone when there is adversity. You could always try finding a gaming shop and advertising, but that can be one hell of a gamble.

Yeah ... Drac and I will try recruiting more locally (or, actually, probably joining some other game) some time in January.  Just kinda frustrating. :\

Sadly, it seems to be the only real option.

*sneezes* Well, there's upsides?  It's not like we were throwing together a good group.  We might have better luck on randoms?  There is in theory a thriving pathfinder community out here.
Well, Goodbye.
